Common Questions

What should I do during the massage?
Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.

What are the benefits of massage?
Massage is known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being.

Will I be completely undressed during a massage?
Most massages are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session.

Where will my massage take place?
Your massage will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music will be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort.

How long does it take for reflexology to work?
Reflexology provides immediate relaxation within minutes, but lasting relief of chronic issues usually requires a series of 4 to 8 weekly sessions.

Why is Reiki so powerful?
Reiki is often felt to be powerful because it induces deep physical relaxation and activates the body's parasympathetic nervous system. Sessions help lower heart rate and blood pressure, shifting the body out of a "fight-or-flight" stress state.

When I should I avoid a massage?
You should postpone your appointment if you have a fever, an infectious illness, a contagious skin condition or a recent acute injury.

How will I feel after a reflexology session?
After a session, you may experience temporary sensations such as thirst, tiredness, increased urination or feeling more emotional than usual. These are generally short-lived. Reflexology is deeply relaxing and can help ease tension, leaving many people feeling peaceful, refreshed and energised.

Can reflexology be used alongside IVF or medical treatments?
Yes. Many people use it to support assisted conception cycles, though treatments should be timed carefully around scans and procedures with an experienced practitioner.

How many fertility reflexology sessions do I need?
Practitioners often recommend a course of treatments over three months—roughly the time it takes for an egg or sperm to mature.

What should I do after a massage?
Drink plenty of water to help your body flush out waste products released during the session. Mild muscle tenderness can happen, but it goes away quickly.

Does massage hurt?
No, a massage is meant to be relaxing. It uses light to moderate pressure. Tell your therapist right away if anything feels uncomfortable so they can change the pressure.
